Welcome to Music Book!

Music Book is an innovative ensemble, combining live classical music with literature for young people through storytelling, dance, song, rhyme and movement.
We hope to inspire children to get excited about books, to enjoy and appreciate art and music, and to get up and shake it all about!
By exposing children to classical music in a relaxed and fun setting, Music Book hopes to create a new appreciative audience, while developing a love for the written and spoken word.

The full Music Book experience for children:

Performances are usually tailored for pre-primary and primary school children.
We design each performance to ensure we keep the interest and attention of our audience.
Each performance is designed to interact and encourage active participation, and include storytelling, singing, dancing and percussion.
Books are shown on a projector screen, so illustrations can be enjoyed and our audience can read along with the narrator.
We are a flexible ensemble and shows are designed to suit any space, from the classroom to the stage.
We can provide extra materials after the performance, such as colouring-in sheets, details of books, musical instruments and musical terms – all related to the performance.

Mums & Bubs, Music for Seniors & Art Workshops for people living with dementia & their carers :
From 2017, we started bringing classical music to Parents, Grandparents, Bubs, Tiny Tots, People living with Dementia and their Carers, and Seniors.
We perform casual, relaxing, low cost concerts for all ages, where the audience can meet and have a chat over a cuppa and a bikkie.
Parents can expose their babies and tiny tots to beautiful classical music, where they can feel free to feed their bubs, and tiny tots can play with their toys or colour-in to their hearts content.
We provide beautiful music, performed by quality musicians, to accompany Art Workshops for those living with dementia and their carers, called Art & Soul.

"Music Book presented a delightful Christmas concert incorporating music, books and stories as well as encouraging audience participation and interaction. A wonderful experience for young and old.
